       I thoroughly enjoyed the way these massive machines were portrayed
in the movies -
            filling an entire room, whirrin' with lights a-flashin'   ;-)

I worked several years with large computers (CDC Cyber series).
One of my old professors used to say, years later: "First we had computers filling a whole cabinet, 
with the documentation on a card. Now we have computers on a card, with the documentation filling a 
cabinet."
